Zum sechsten Mal hat Roger Federer the Australian Open gewonnen.
After the 6:2, 6:7 (5:7), 6:3, 3:6, 6:1 against Marin Cilc in his 30th Grand Slam final, after his Melbourne titles in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2017, he is now, together with Novak Djokovic and Roy Emerson, a record holder in Down Under.
With the “incredible number” 20, as Federer called the magical mark, he also becomes the first male professional to enter an elite group of champions. Only Margaret Court (24), Serena Williams (23) and Steffi Graf (22) have won 20 or more titles at the four major tournaments. “I am so happy, it is incredible,” Federer said at 10:54 p.m. as he kissed the trophy and celebrated successfully defending his title with the fans.
